New Game gives weird ship config.

1. I arrived at a station, having earned a fair amount of creds and travelled through multiple systems.
2. I swapped reactors, upgraded shields, and upgraded capacitor.
3. Came to a jump point with "Low Energy". Went back to station to check why.
4. Found that my FTL Capacitor I contained less than the required amount for a single jump (250k needed, ~188k supplied).
5. Figured out that this particular bug is self-sustaining until prodded, like floating sand in Minecraft.
6. Started a new game, upgraded to FTL Capacitor II immediately.
Note that, prior to messing with reactor, shields, and capacitor, a single jump would drain only ~40% of my capacitor and I only ever got Low Energy notices directly after jumping.
Perhaps a misplaced value, perhaps a mess-up in ship configuration, perhaps an oversight. Regardless, unless the FTL capacitor is upgraded when messing with power/energy, the player is left up the interstellar creek without a paddle.
